Busking Software now offers a playable demo of Metal Brigade Tactics, their new turn-based tactics/strategy game featuring mech-style combat, said to offer "deep RPG elements." Here's word on the game: "Control your squad of Vertical Armor giant robots on a mission to stop a small country from embroiling the world in a devastating war. Featuring a long campaign as well as a skirmish mode and built-in editor, Metal Brigade Tactics will satiate any strategy gamer's hunger."

I personally liked MC2 over the first. I think the 3D aspect was pretty well done, considering the time it was made. 3D was only a few generations old at the time. I still play MC2 occasionally. Between MC2 and MW4 (plus addons, mods and stuff released recently for free), anyone into mechs have plenty to play...

Demo and game look interesting. Maybe I'll give it a go...Whatever happened to the updated, official MechWarrior game that was in development?

Man i wish someone would do a proper Mech Commander 1 based SIM game (you know, just with mechs and future stuff instead of boring old realistic stuff). I loved the art style and scale in that game. Doesn't need to have stupid 3D (which only hurt MC2) Don't think art style like that would be very expensive so why is nobody doing it...
